Melbourne: City of Culture.

So yes.
Despite not making any decent blogs, despite buying a nifty new mp3 player which i should've posted, but got too lazy because i was enjoying it too much.

And the ending of Macross, and Special A, and World Destruction, and all those i'm following. I should be making a post of a recap summary of them all too.

Oh well,

So, for a week i'll be going to Melbourne, the capital city of South Australia. I shall be competing there for the Australian University Games, in Fencing, for Foil and Epee.

And like last year, i doubt i'll have net.

But wish me luck ^_^
(especially in epee ^^;; majority of epeeist are tall people >_< ! )

WD 8 and MF 20/21

World Destruction 8.
Well this episode was boring.
Our heroes have been captured along with the WSC (World Salvation Committee) and get submerged in the ocean of sands.
At least we now know that Kyrie is somehow attractive to Lia, she's blushing and what not. Oh well.
Since this was a boring ep, i'll just dwell into what i've find more interesting in episode 7.

Episode 7 involves our heroes walking into town to find out that someone is using their names to create havoc. Eating without paying, and harming and stealing antiques. All in the name of the World Destruction Commitee.
Interestingly enough, the characters that we get introduced to somehow have a personality switch. Kyrie is more manly, with a quiet girl (name forgotten), and an actually massive bear, who apparently is very gentle and kind. In comparison with Toppi. xD

Later on, we figure out that they're going around places, finding a Utopia where Beastmen and Humans can co-exist together in peace.

This just rings a bell back to what Morte wants, to end this world so it'll be peaceful (along the lines of that, more like she wants to destroy the world so that she can save it.)
Now applying this to reality, what'd you classify as a Utopian world our little planet of Earth, with an approx population of 6 billion with a variety of cultures and nationalities? We're not as easily split into humans and beastmen.
(what i DO wonder is where are the ape-men? Humans are ape-like. How come i haven't seen any apemen-beastmen? ~_~? )

"1 torpedo for 2 sand whales"
Wow... talk about parralel worlds.
"One birds for two stones." Or was it "Killing 2 birds with one stone?" I can't remember the exact quote, but you get the gist of it.
What i'm laughing at, is that in this parallel world is they used torpedoes. Shows that this quote is only made recently with the introduction of technology.
I assume that beastmen in the past never tried spears or super large rocks to take down a sandwhale. And how come there aren't any fishmen-beastmen? :/ Yet they have frogmen-beastmen :(
I don't want to go through the whole animal kingdom, but come on :(

Macross Frontier ep 20. Spoilers.








DAMMIT THEY KILLED HIM!
They didn't killed Ozma, so they killed another senpai of our main hero Alto, in this case it was Mikhael/Michael/Michel etc...
In contrasting this to Focker from SDFMacross,
both these guys are womanisers, great pilots, blonde hair, actually a senpai of our hero Alto/Hikari. Part of the Skull Squadron.
Compared with Ozma.
Skull Leader. Man. In a relationship with one woman. Pineapples. Bad shot in a dogfight.

Seems to me, they cut 1/3 of Focker and placed it into Mikhael and 2/3 into Ozma.

Oh well, but it is quite saddening to lose Mikhael, though im' interested into seeing what Ranka will do, now that she's going to Vajra territory to return Ai-kun. She's their queen, she can command them to all stop, and if all goes well, assimilate the Vajra into the infantry/search/military/something-or-other divison of the government. They proved their power, and since they don't seem to need to live a good experiance-ful life like humans and zentradi and the meltrandi, they suddenly seem very easy to take care of, especially as shock troops of the universe.

And with the rest of the Macross universe having biotech and implants, who knows? Maybe they could implement Vajra psyiology into their newer class of DomeShips. After all the Vajra can fold while ignoring the faults.

I'm interested to see how this will all play out in the end.

21

The age that defines the end of childhood.
The becoming of an adult.
A shift of worlds.

Such idoicy.

Humans have placed shackles among themselves.
Defined values to suit their needs.
Created wondrous and abhorable subjects.

In selfish desires to survive.
They ignore the beauty of nature.

The colours of autumn.
The cooling of air.
The glow of sunsets.

The quietness of winter.
The puffs of breathe we take.
The crispness of the starry sky.

The blossoming of Spring.
The gentle breeze.
The soft scent of flowers.

The flares of summer.
The lazy afternoons.
The cool nights upon us.

The world man created is complex.
Confusing. Incongruent. Catastrophic.

Despite that be the realm we live in.
You are you.
You are your own.
You decide what you be.

You have the strength to do what you want.
The world of man was created for its own sake.
Yet, the world of nature still continues.
Thus, you can create your own,

The world you desire. The world that you wish for.

With the hurt and love of your past,
with the pain and happiness of your future,
You hold your life in your own hands.
Don't let anyone take it from you.
